Players other than the owner could interact with the Golden Chinchompa, resulting in the pet and the interacting player having a conversation. This feature was removed on 22 October.

After the chinchompa was re-released, upon asking if it felt all right, the chinchompa will say that it lost the "explosive gland" in a fishing accident. Before the re-release, the chinchompa would deny feeling ill when asked this.
